[Even If You're Tone-Deaf, It's Okay!] Easy Karaoke Songs for Men in Their 40s (71–80)
Don’t avert your eyes.DEEN
It’s DEEN’s fifth single overall, released on June 22, 1994.
It’s a “Being-kei” track from the 1990s—a period that could be called the peak of J-POP—when the karaoke market was heavily emphasized in making hits.
As such, the melody and lyrics are crafted so that even people who aren’t good at singing can hum along easily.
In that sense, I’d say it’s one of the best choices for those who aren’t confident singers to pick at karaoke.
It’s a bright pop tune, so just be careful not to make your delivery too heavy when you sing it.
EurekaHoshino Gen
This is Gen Hoshino’s track released on January 28, 2025, which became the theme song for the medical drama “Madoka, 26, I’m a Resident!” The overall vocal range is D3–A4, covering lower-mid to upper-mid ranges, making it a comfortable key for male singers.
If you keep a clipped rhythm at the ends of phrases in the A section and stay mindful not to rush the tempo, it should be easier to sing.
Also, since it has a calm feel, avoid straining your throat: keep your facial muscles lifted so the vocal folds can resonate.
Imagine projecting your voice toward your eyebrows or slightly upward; for low notes, release the sound forward slowly, and for high notes, add a touch of accent and let the sound out a bit faster.
In both cases, make good use of your breath—inhale through your mouth and sing!
dragonflyNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
This is singer-songwriter Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s 20th single, released in October 1998.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Tonbo,” in which Nagabuchi himself starred.
It topped the Oricon charts for five consecutive weeks, sold 1.035 million copies, and became a million-seller.
Since the drama itself was a hit, many people likely remember this song through the show.
The melody has a slightly folk-like feel that evokes a sense of nostalgia.
If you perform it with a rugged, masculine vocal style, it will surely sound great!

SaudadePorunogurafiti
Pornograffitti’s classic hit “Saudade.” For men in their early 40s, it’s probably a spot-on anthem.
With its memorable Latin-flavored melody, the song exudes a passionate and cool vibe throughout.
The rhythm can be a bit tricky, but since there’s no vibrato used, the overall vocal difficulty is relatively easy.
If you want it to sound polished, avoid a mushy delivery and aim for clear, well-defined articulation.
Endless Road19
A song I’d recommend to men in their early 40s is Hatenonai Michi.
It’s a classic by the folk duo 19, who were hugely active in the 2000s.
Since it was a nationwide hit, many of you may remember it.
While the track is notable for its cutting-style guitar, the vocal line itself is crafted as catchy J-pop.
The chorus does feature falsetto, but the range is easily reachable in chest voice as well, so it’s not difficult as long as you choose an appropriate key.
Give it a try.
The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi
Yasushi Nakanishi’s classic, filled with gentle yet heartrending emotion, is a ballad about parting with a lover.
The breakup scene, overlaid with imagery of rain, along with the portrayal of deep affection, possessiveness, and the acceptance of being unable to make the other person happy, leaves a strong impression.
The beautiful arrangement of piano and strings further highlights the crystalline quality of his vocals.
Released in August 1992, it was later used as the theme song for Hitachi’s “Ashita P-KAN Kibun!” and gradually gained support, ultimately becoming a massive hit with total sales of 900,000 copies.
In karaoke, its relaxed tempo and relatively narrow vocal range make it easy to sing calmly.
Why not sing it while carefully unfolding its story-like lyrics, together with your cherished memories?
Monochrome RainbowHamada Shogo
Shogo Hamada is an artist who enjoys overwhelming popularity among men in their 50s and 60s.
It may not be the generation for men in their 40s, but some of you might have listened to him under the influence of siblings or seniors.
In that case, I recommend Monochrome no Niji (Monochrome Rainbow).
While many people may associate Shogo Hamada with ballads, this piece is crafted as an upbeat rock track.
It doesn’t exactly have a narrow vocal range, but since it uses chord progressions commonly found in J-pop, I think it’s easy for anyone to sing.
